Robert Oppenheimer
From Wikiquote
(Redirected from J. R. Oppenheimer)
J. Robert Oppenheimer (22 April 1904 – 18 February 1967) was an American physicist and the scientific director of the Manhattan Project.
- There are no secrets about the world of nature. There are secrets about the thoughts and intentions of men.
- Interview with Edward Murrow, A Conversation with J. Robert Oppenheimer, 1955
- I can't think that it would be terrible of me to say — and it is occasionally true — that I need physics more than friends.
- Letter to his brother Frank Oppenheimer (14 October 1929), published in Robert Oppenheimer : Letters and Recollections (1995) edited by Alice Kimball Smith, p. 135
- Everyone wants rather to be pleasing to women and that desire is not altogether, though it is very largely, a manifestation of vanity. But one cannot aim to be pleasing to women any more than one can aim to have taste, or beauty of expression, or happiness; for these things are not specific aims which one may learn to attain; they are descriptions of the adequacy of one's living. To try to be happy is to try to build a machine with no other specification than that it shall run noiselessly.
- Letter to his brother Frank (14 October 1929), published in Robert Oppenheimer : Letters and Recollections (1995) edited by Alice Kimball Smith, p. 136
- I believe that through discipline, though not through discipline alone, we can achieve serenity, and a certain small but precious measure of the freedom from the accidents of incarnation, and charity, and that detachment which preserves the world which it renounces. I believe that through discipline we can learn to preserve what is essential to our happiness in more and more adverse circumstances, and to abandon with simplicity what would else have seemed to us indispensable; that we come a little to see the world without the gross distortion of personal desire, and in seeing it so, accept more easily our earthly privation and its earthly horror — But because I believe that the reward of discipline is greater than its immediate objective, I would not have you think that discipline without objective is possible: in its nature discipline involves the subjection of the soul to some perhaps minor end; and that end must be real, if the discipline is not to be factitious. Therefore I think that all things which evoke discipline: study, and our duties to men and to the commonwealth, war, and personal hardship, and even the need for subsistence, ought to be greeted by us with profound gratitude, for only through them can we attain to the least detachment; and only so can we know peace.
- Letter to his brother Frank (12 March 1932), published in Robert Oppenheimer : Letters and Recollections (1995) edited by Alice Kimball Smith, p. 155
- It worked!
- His exclamation after the Trinity atomic bomb test (16 July 1945), according to his brother in the documentary The Day After Trinity
- It is with appreciation and gratefulness that I accept from you this scroll for the Los Alamos Laboratory, and for the men and women whose work and whose hearts have made it. It is our hope that in years to come we may look at the scroll and all that it signifies, with pride. Today that pride must be tempered by a profound concern. If atomic bombs are to be added as new weapons to the arsenals of a warring world, or to the arsenals of the nations preparing for war, then the time will come when mankind will curse the names of Los Alamos and Hiroshima. The people of this world must unite or they will perish. This war that has ravaged so much of the earth, has written these words. The atomic bomb has spelled them out for all men to understand. Other men have spoken them in other times, and of other wars, of other weapons. They have not prevailed. There are some misled by a false sense of human history, who hold that they will not prevail today. It is not for us to believe that. By our minds we are committed, committed to a world united, before the common peril, in law and in humanity.
- Acceptance Speech, Army-Navy "Excellence" Award (16 November 1945)
- Despite the vision and farseeing wisdom of our wartime heads of state, the physicists have felt the peculiarly intimate responsibility for suggesting, for supporting, and in the end, in large measure, for achieving the realization of atomic weapons. Nor can we forget that these weapons as they were in fact used dramatized so mercilessly the inhumanity and evil of modern war. In some sort of crude sense which no vulgarity, no humor, no overstatement can quite extinguish, the physicists have known sin; and this is a knowledge which they cannot lose.
- Physics in the Contemporary World, Arthur D. Little Memorial Lecture at M.I.T. (25 November 1947)
- The history of science is rich in the example of the fruitfulness of bringing two sets of techniques, two sets of ideas, developed in separate contexts for the pursuit of new truth, into touch with one another.
- Science and the common understanding (1954). New York: Simon and Schuster. Based on 1953 Reith lectures.
- There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry ... There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors. Our political life is also predicated on openness. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it and that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. And we know that as long as men are free to ask what they must, free to say what they think, free to think what they will, freedom can never be lost, and science can never regress.
- As quoted in "J. Robert Oppenheimer" by L. Barnett, in Life, Vol. 7, No. 9, International Edition (24 October 1949), p.58; sometimes a partial version (the final sentence) is misattributed to Marcel Proust.
- We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to enquire. We know that the wages of secrecy are corruption. We know that in secrecy error, undetected, will flourish and subvert.
- "Encouragement of Science" (Address at Science Talent Institute, 6 Mar 1950), Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, v.7, #1 (Jan 1951) p.6-8
- We may be likened to two scorpions in a bottle, each capable of killing the other, but only at the risk of his own life.
- "Atomic Weapons and American Policy", Foreign Affairs (July 1953), p. 529.
- The open society, the unrestricted access to knowledge, the unplanned and uninhibited association of men for its furtherance — these are what may make a vast, complex, ever growing, ever changing, ever more specialized and expert technological world, nevertheless a world of human community.
- Science and the Common Understanding (1953)
- It's not that I don't feel bad about it. It's just that I don't feel worse today than what I felt yesterday.
- Response to question on his feelings about the atomic bombings, while visiting Japan in 1960.
- We knew the world would not be the same. Few people laughed, few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
- Interview about the Trinity explosion, first broadcast as part of the television documentary The Decision to Drop the Bomb (1965), produced by Fred Freed, NBC White Paper; Oppenheimer is quoting from the 1944 Prabhavananda - Isherwood translation of Bhagavad Gita. This is a line spoken by Krishna, who is revered in Hindu traditions as one of the major incarnations of Vishnu; some assert that the passage would be better translated "I am become Time, the destroyer of worlds."
- When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it and argue about what to do about it only after you've had your technical success. That is the way it was with the atomic bomb.
- Testifying in his defense in his 1954 security hearings (page 81 of the official transcript)
- But when you come right down to it the reason that we did this job is because it was an organic necessity. If you are a scientist you cannot stop such a thing. If you are a scientist you believe that it is good to find out how the world works; that it is good to find out what the realities are; that it is good to turn over to mankind at large the greatest possible power to control the world and to deal with it according to its lights and its values.
- Speech to the Association of Los Alamos Scientists, 2 November 1945
- It is perfectly obvious that the whole world is going to hell. The only possible chance that it might not is that we do not attempt to prevent it from doing so.
- As quoted in Play to Live (1982) by Alan Watts
- Well — yes. In modern times, of course.
- Answer to a student at Rochester University who asked whether the bomb exploded at Alamogordo was the first one to be detonated, as quoted in Doomsday, 1999 A.D. (1982) by Charles Berlitz, p. 129
- There are children playing in the streets who could solve some of my top problems in physics, because they have modes of sensory perception that I lost long ago.
- Quoted at Vision '65 "New Challenges for Human Communications", 21-23 October 1965 and published in v 65: New Challenges for human communications, Volume 4, International Center for the Typographic Arts, Southern Illinois University (1965), p. 221
- It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it was possible to find them.
- As quoted in "Why Curiosity Driven Research?" by Robert V. Moody
- The Optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds, the Pessimist fears it is true.
- This is derived from a statement of James Branch Cabell, in The Silver Stallion (1926) : The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.
Quotes about Oppenheimer[edit]
- He was the genius of the nuclear weapons age and also the walking, talking conscience of science and civilisation; most of the great questions surrounding him as a person were the greatest questions of that time.
He was born into an intellectual New York Jewish family and as a young man experienced the revolution in theoretical physics in the 1920s at first hand in Europe, before settling in California and building a world-class research centre there. Though he had no record as a manager, when war came he was chosen as the Manhattan Project's chief scientist and his inspirational leadership saw it through to success.
Peace found him a national hero and a powerful voice in Washington, but he was also increasingly anxious about the drift into Cold War. These qualms made him enemies, so his pre-war left-wing past was dredged up and, at those 1954 hearings, he was subjected to what one observer called a "dry crucifixion". … Not a shred of credible evidence was ever produced to suggest that the man was disloyal, still less that he was a spy. The worst that could be proved against him was one or two lapses of judgement in dealings with left-wing friends in the early years of the war — piffling faults, as Isidor Rabi pointed out, when set beside his achievements.
So demented were his enemies that, even after what they described as his "unfrocking" — the official decision that he did indeed pose a risk to national security — they insisted he was on the brink of defecting to the Soviet Union and so must continue to be followed and bugged wherever he went.
- What more do you want, mermaids?
- Isidor Isaac Rabi, noting Oppenheimer had organized scientists to develop the atomic bomb for the US, in defense of him at McCarthy-era security hearings, as quoted in "Atomised" by Brian Cathcart in The New Statesman' (10 January 2008)

What exactly has ginger done wrong?
Very nice video, as far as ginger go's? well i really think she didn't care that much about elvis or his fans, so why would she now?
AMEN!!! i think most of us elvis fans didn't care much for ginger.
This makes interesting reading ...
I don't like ginger like yous don't like priscilla.
cheater, elvis is dead cause of her, has no request for him, etc
Thats all and nobody going to change my mind and thats the last time l will explain to you or anybody.
I've read and heard from some of the others in Books and Interviews, the same thing about Joe.
Also I don't care who likes Priscilla or Ginger or Linda or anyone else but My two cents on another comment in this thread "Elvis is dead because of her" . No, He isn't. Elvis was an adult with a drug addiction . He had several wake up calls before the big one that ended it all for him and he didn't take any of them . Ginger probably was in a walker and diapers when Elvis started that stuff. I love the guy as much as anyone else that never met him does but He's not dead because of anyone else.

I do not like ginger because she was just going with Elvis for his money and everything she could get out of him. Most certainly did not like that there x-wife of his either... grrrrrrrrrr. Often wondered why Elvi picked such women????? I guess only he and god knows the answer to that one.
Elvis died because of Ginger?? I really despair sometimes. That's such ridiculous crap.
The fact that Ginger DIDN'T write a book or do interviews after his death tells us a lot about her character and whether or not she was in it just for the money. She could have made a fortune as the person Elvis was with in the last year of his life and the last person Elvis saw alive. She showed class and didn't do that. For that, fans should be thankful as practically everyone else went that route.
Didn't all of his "friends" abuse him and hang out with him to profit?
The fact is that Elvis was the loneliest star off all time and thats what killed him.
He has been searching an exit from his loneliness his whole life but he lost the battle.
"Don't criticize what you don't understand, son, you never walked in that man's shoes."
All of you who are slating ginger where is your proof?
I agree Debra w/everything you've said.
Ah, T.J. yes she did give interviews, quite a few of them. Both print and t.v.. I've seen them and I have some of them. And her family sued to have a pool put in that they claim Elvis' promised them, after his funeral. And by all accts. she wasn't exactly heartbroken @ the funeral...a few witnesses say that she was too busy checking her make-up in her hand mirror.
Also, though Elvis did not die because of her, she was not diligent as Linda Thompson had been, with Elvis and by most accts. she was dressed, hair and make-up done when Elvis' guys went up to see what was going on after her call downstairs that something was wrong w/Elvis. Also has been said that she called the press PRIOR to calling for assistance and also called her mom.
As for what she is doing now, I don't know and I don't care, she was doing modeling for awhile, but last I heard she was married to a NY millionaire businessman and had a son. Only reason she didn't write a book is because she was prob. told nobody would buy it. Also everyone disputes that Elvis asked her to marry him...and Vernon would not allow her to visit Elvis grave or get onto the grounds of Graceland prior to calling him first and obtaining permission...I'm sure he had his reasons for that.
It is always worth while asking a question, though it is not always worth while answering one
Oscar Wilde
I think it was Dick Grob who started the story about her phoning the press and Dick Grob is hugely unreliable and malicious. Here's what Ginger had to say when asked about that obvious lie...
"Yes, It is long past time to shine the light of truth on what is a malevolent fabrication. I don't see how the writer can live with himself knowing the lies and vicious rumours he has tried to spread about so many as a last ditch sensationalistic grasp at making money off of his association with Elvis. There was no phone call made by my mother or myself to anyone dealing with a publication of any type on the day that Elvis died. I was stunned and heartbroken and am appalled that anyone would think differently. The day after Elvis' death, our home was besieged by reporters from all branches of the media and tabloids trying to cover this tragedy. You can imagine the scene with more than 500,000 mourners and press from all over the world converging on Memphis. My mother turned everyone away at that time protecting me as I told her I did not want to give any interviews. I finally decided to grant an interview with our local paper to try and set the record straight after seeing Elvis' road manager on our television stating he had found Elvis' body. The tabloids had also returned to our doorstep literally shouting at one another. Next, the National Enquirer told us that Elvis' ex-girlfriend had given them a story and they were going to print a story about his death anyway so that is how my interview in the National Enquirer came about. As distraught as I was at that time and not knowing what in the world would be said about Elvis, I consented to do an interview for the National Enquirer. I remember Elvis telling me when we first started dating that there would be a lot of people who would be jealous of our relationship. He also asked me if I could handle it. I naively answered yes. I never foresaw the kind of self-promoting denigration of his character and memory that has appeared in print and on television since his death."
As for the pool incident, this was a case where the family would have lost money because of a promise that Elvis made them and a gift he wanted them to have - a gift he instigated in the first place, not one they asked for. Vernon was in effect going back on Elvis' wishes and leaving the Aldens in a position where they would be in debt over a gift.
Yes Ginger may have done the very occasional interview, but certainly not milked the association as most have and NEVER spoken ill of Elvis or done a 'tell all' type of interview. That's where the real money would have been made, but she chose not to and I respect her for that. Those actions just are not compatible with the type of person you describe.

This petition closed 11 months ago
Majority of people in the UK are firm animal lovers not haters. Why does our country allow this disgusting "religious" cruelty to go on over here or even allow it to be imported? Why inflict such unreasonable agonizing pain to an innocent animal for reasons that have not enough justification. THIS IS OUR COUNTRY AND WE WANT THIS TO BE STOPPED! DAVID CAMERON, PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO, AND YOU TELL US IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU! 1000's upon 1000's of animals are bred and slaughtered each day solely for the meat industry, the UK way of animal slaughter is bad and terrifying as it is to the harmless innocent animals but HUMANE, Muslim RELIGION of slaughter is a DISGRACE and we as UK citizens SAY NO! KOSHER meat is also the same cruelty only they say a prayer for the animal, again stupid cruel religion. This is a 12 week petition, once ended will be sent to as many local Councillors and UK government and hopefully something can be done about this despicable cruelty. Please watch the video; it is not nice, all animals are now out of there agony they were wrongly put through and are still put through day in day out all over the world. It would be lovely to put a stop to this worldwide, but we no that's not going to happen, but at least let's try for our country, BRITISH UK population TAKE A STAND!

Vermillion, Union County approve landfill agreement by David Lias The city of Vermillion and persons residing in unincorporated areas of Union County have entered into a solid waste disposal agreement.
Trash from some rural areas of Union County has been dumped for a time at the landfill in Clay County operated by the Joint Powers Solid Waste Authority.
Action taken at Monday�s Vermillion City Council meeting makes this arrangement official.
One of the reasons to strike a formal agreement is liability.
By putting the agreement in writing, there now can be no doubt by any trash haulers in Union County that Vermillion operates its landfill under the authority of a permit issued in March 1999 by the South Dakota Department of Water and Natural Resources.
Residents of Union County will be required to follow and adhere to all terms of the permit. Vermillion will promptly let Union County know of any complaints filed by the department or other evidence that the requirements of the permit are not being met.
The rural areas of Union County are served by a private waste collection system. Trash is collected from residential, commercial and industrial establishments.
The term of this agreement is three years, and it is anticipated that a renegotiated form of it will be entered into for at least a 10 year term.

HARRISONBURG, Va. – Four James Madison men's soccer players were a significant part in RVA FC capturing the National Premier Soccer League Championship this past Saturday in Richmond. Goalkeeper Bill Groben (Chester, Va./Thomas Dale),forward Josh Grant (Plymouth, England/Torpoint College), midfielder Gene Daniels (Stafford, Va./Coloinal Forge) and defender Karel Manrau (Neuchatel, Switzerland/Jean-Piaget) have all been a part of the first-year team that also won the South Region's Mid-Atlantic Conference with a 6-0-2 record.
RVA defeated the Sonoma County Sol 2-0 in the championship game to earn the title in the team's inaugural season. A goal in the 18th minute by Grant, assisted by Todd Wharton, got things started for the home side. Grant scored from 30 yards to put RVA up 1-0, a score that they took into the locker room at halftime. The team added a second goal in the last half and Groben had his second straight shutout.
RVA won the right to host the championship by defeating the Erie Admirals 4-0 in the first National Semifinal match Saturday night. It was a dominant and comprehensive win for the expansion side as they took down one of the league's perennial contenders. Grant and Daniels each tallied goals in the victory, while Groben had a pair of saves as he has been the primary keeper for the club this season.
RVA came through the tournament as the South Region champion with wins over Jacksonville United and Chattanooga FC. The squad then defeated the Midwest Region's champion Admirals to earn the title game berth in their first year as a team.

Minervamation Animation Camp July 13 through 17
For Immediate Release
June 24, 2009
At the "MinervaMation" Animation Camp, a five-day workshop at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, students have the opportunity to create an original short animated film. At the camp, which runs daily July 13 through 17 from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm, eight- to twelve-year-olds will be transfigured from passive audience members into active artists. Their inventive effort will hit the big screen in the auditorium during the Clark's Family Day on August 2. Registration is $250 per student ($225 for Clark members). Limited to 15 students. For more information or to register call 413-458-0524.
Under the direction of Kathy O'Mara, founder of Minerva Stage, "MinervaMation" campers will create an animated short film inspired by the exhibition Dove/O'Keeffe: Circles of Influence. Students will explore every stage of the creation process, from storyboarding and sequencing to creating flipbooks and igniting the spark of animation. Students will also enjoy activities on the Clark's beautiful grounds.
The exhibition Dove/O'Keeffe: Circles of Influences explores the artistic dialogue between two influential American artists, Arthur Dove and Georgia O'Keeffe. Their shared abstract aesthetic and desire to communicate a direct connection to nature helped shape American modern art. Abstract artwork uses color, shape, and texture to represent emotions and senses rather than concrete objects. "MinervaMation" campers will discover the art of animation using Dove and O'Keeffe's aesthetic approach.
The Clark is located at 225 South Street in Williamstown, MA. The galleries are open Tuesday through Sunday 10 am to 5 pm (daily in July and August). Admission June 1 through October 31 is $12.50 for adults, free for children 18 and under, members, and students with valid ID. Admission is free November through May. For more information, call 413-458-2303 or visit clarkart.edu.

I am just about to book a family holiday in Mauritius staying at the Maritim at the end of nay very early June. I have noticed that the temp can be between 20 and 24. Does it feel hotter that this when your there?. We are heat lovers and do not want to find that it is to cold. Unfortunately we can't afford to go in peak season! Thanks in advance it's good to get advice from those in the know.
Hi all,
i wanted to share my experience with you and would like to get some feedback also from people who have been in Mauritius for holidays. I have been at a nice guest house in the north and enjoyed a very peaceful and calm stay at a very reasonable price. But i have had some difficulties with big car rental agency which forced me to change same and rent with another car rental company. I've rented with one well known rental company but in the end the conditions had nothing to do with what we agreed at the beginning and they were very rude and aggressive.
In the end another couple who were also on holiday at the same guest house advice us to rent with one National Car Hire Mauritius and i was fully satisfied. They were on time and even gave us a nice package on the overall rental. We've got almost 15% discount on the 3 weeks rental and no charge were to be paid for delivery of the car. If anyone has encountered such same problem it would be nice to get some feedback. The overall experience make us understand that big brands are not always the best and are very expensive also.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Improved Quality of Service (QoS) equals improved customer experience.
Solid state drives (SSD) differ from hard disk drives (HDD) because they leverage non-volatile flash memory rather than spinning, magnetic media. As a result, SSDs and HDDs have different strengths in terms of efficiency—for example, performance vs. capacity.
SSDs complement your existing environments and have a vital role in delivering fast performance and lower power consumption for specific applications and use cases.

Part-time & Graduate Enrollment Services
Graduate Study Research and Projects
As RIT transforms into an innovation university, research is becoming an integral part of the learning experience. As a result, you'll have abundant opportunities to be involved in and contribute to meaningful research and to interact with leaders in your field on campus and around the country.
Three key research programs are offered by RIT—research services, corporate research and development and sponsored research.
The Research Services program includes short-term research projects involving evaluation or analysis, conducted by undergraduates with supervision of faculty or staff. Intellectual property in these projects is not anticipated. The Printing Applications Laboratory in the College of Imaging Arts and Sciences is working with substrate suppliers, under Research Services agreements, to evaluate the performance of different types of media on HP Indigo printing technology.
In the Corporate R&D program, research projects address a specific company problem and typically involve master's students working directly with the company with mentoring from faculty. Under these agreements the company owns the intellectual property, but RIT retains the right to publish and present the research findings. For example, Kathleen Lamkin-Kennard, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, and two mechanical engineering students are working with Johnson & Johnson Ortho Clinical Diagnostics on a Corporate R&D project to develop a modular simulation platform to better simulate antibody/antigen reactions.
Sponsored Research addresses long-term research goals, which advance a specific field or technology and usually involve Ph.D. students working with faculty. All intellectual property developed through the research is owned by RIT and licensed to the sponsor. For the past five years, Karl Hirschman, Micron Professor of Microelectronic Engineering, and a team of graduate students have been conducting a sponsored research project with Corning Inc. to advance the development of silicon-on-glass technology for use in flat-panel displays.
Research at RIT is often inter-disciplinary, giving faculty, staff and students the chance to work with their colleagues in one or more of RIT's eight colleges. This provides students greater exposure to other disciplines and experience working in a collaborative approach often preferred by business and industry.
In addition to research, RIT's graduate students also participate in projects pertaining to their academic studies.

The Artists Folio
- 7 February — 15 June 2014 *on now
The exhibition will focus on selected folios of prints from the permanent collection of Cartwright Hall. Artists have traditionally worked on groups of prints, setting aside concentrated time to explore a project through printmaking. The resulting work, as well as producing individual images, often results in folios of works through which the artist can explore ideas of series, sequence and variation. Complete folios by well known artists will be shown in their entirety to reveal particular approaches to the idea of the folio and through this how printmaking can offer new insights into an artist's practice. The exhibition is curated by Professor Paul Coldwell, Chelsea School of Art.

Alternative Names
Cancer – skin
Definition of Skin cancer
Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. If left unchecked, these cancer cells can spread from the skin into other tissues and organs.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
The outer layer of skin, the epidermis, is made up of different types of cells. Skin cancers are classified by the types of epidermal cells involved:
Skin cancers may have many different appearances. They can be small, shiny, waxy, scaly and rough, firm and red, crusty or bleeding, or have other features. Therefore, anything suspicious should be looked at by a physician. See the articles on specific skin cancers for more information.
Different types of skin cancer require different treatment approaches. Surgical removal of the cancer is very common.
Expectations (prognosis)
The outlook depends on a number of factors, including the type of cancer and how quickly it was diagnosed. Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma rarely spread to other parts of the body. However, melanoma is more likely to spread. See the specific skin cancer articles for additional information.

When Barack Obama is sworn into office for his second term as president on Monday, York and Clover high school students will be among those watching from the crowd in Washington, D.C.
When Barack Obama is sworn into office for his second term as president on Monday, York and Clover high school students will be among those watching from the crowd in Washington, D.C.
York Comprehensive High School plans to take 54 high school students and adults on a four-day trip to the presidential inauguration, while Clover High School plans to take a group of 35 on a five-day trip.
For Jane Gilfillan, a teacher at York Comprehensive, next week's second Obama inauguration will mark her sixth consecutive trip with students to see a U.S. president take the oath of office. Gilfillan has taken student groups to each inauguration since George Bush Sr. in 1993.
"Every year, I come back and I'm so tired, but in the community, you just hear parents and kids talk about how it was one of the greatest moments in their high school careers," she said.
Leann Mellon, a Clover High U.S. history and government teacher who will be leading the Clover group, has never attended a presidential inauguration. She said Clover hasn't take a student group to the event for about 15 years.
"The teachers in our history department just starting talking about it and thinking it was a good opportunity," Mellon said. "We did some research, and decided it could be a very affordable trip for students."
Both groups plan to do some sightseeing before they come home.
Jacob Brumble, a 17-year-old Clover High senior, said he's anxious to see history take place. He has visited Washington before, he said, but "you can never spend too much time there."
"I want to be a history teacher when I grow up, so it will be a really cool thing to be able to tell my students that I went to see a presidential inauguration," he said. "I figure it's a once-in-a-lifetime kind of trip, so you might as well take it when you have the chance."
York freshman Valerie Dawkins, 14, said she will be making her first trip to Washington with Gilfillan's group. She's starting to enjoy history more, and is anxious to see it being made.
"The past is kind of like a mystery," Valerie said. "You get to see how everything plays out."
Kaitlyn Spires, a 14-year-old York freshman, will be going on the trip with her mother. "Not many people get to go on these trips," she said. "I'm pretty sure I'll remember it for the rest of my life."
Jordan Wiggins, a 14-year-old York freshman, said that in addition to the inauguration, he wants to see memorials and museums that he didn't see during a brief visit to Washington.
"I want to see it all again so I can understand it more," he said.
Mellon said the Clover group plans to leave at midnight Saturday and return on Thursday, Jan. 24. They plan to attend an inauguration ball for student groups on Monday evening.
The Clover group also plans visits to places that include the memorial sites, Mount Vernon, Arlington National Cemetery, the National Archives, Supreme Court, Holocaust Museum, Library of Congress and the Capitol, as well as the Smithsonian Museum.
The York group plans to leave early Friday morning and return late Monday, shortly after the inauguration. Planned stops include the memorial sites, Library of Congress, Capitol building, the World War II memorial, Holocaust Museum, Ford Theater, National Archives, Arlington National Cemetery and others.

For more than a year the NTAC's Terrorism Liaison Officer (TLO) Program has collected information from law enforcement officials concerning unsolved rural female homicides and select missing person cases. The cold cases include unsolved homicide and missing person cold cases that have occurred from 1972 to 2010.
In furtherance of these important investigations, NTAC requests the public's assistance in developing potential leads about the unsolved female homicides and missing person cold cases. Ten of the unsolved cases involve female victims who have not been identified. For the next nine weeks, NTAC will publish bi-monthly articles about two of the cold cases until all of the cases are profiled. The 18 unsolved investigations will be from rural Nevada counties, and do not include cold cases from Washoe or Clark counties.
Anyone having information about these cases is asked to contact Jim Lopey at 775-687-0450 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Leslie Saris studied architecture and fine art at the University of Southern California. After graduating in 1996, she immediately began to design and create art for both commercial and residential spaces. Leslie grew up and continues to live in Southern California where she has created a large body of work using several innovative techniques. She views her diverse collection as a holding place for her thoughts and energy while striving to place abundant strength into the process of creating art so that it will speak to and entice the viewer. Leslie's oil paintings have been described as both complex and seductive. Her strong interaction of structure and color reflect her academic background. She honors her love of Old World architecture by giving a patina to her modernistic work. Delightful visual surprises abound in the adventuresome juxtaposition of the abstract with the real. She mixes soft and bold colors and textures as if she were dressing your walls with beautiful fabrics. Leslie has received numerous awards and her paintings have been displayed in various galleries throughout Southern California. Her paintings have been showcased in publications including: San Diego Home and Garden, Angeleno, Better Homes and Gardens, Home Magazine, DIY Better Homes Spring 2005, and the book, Better Homes and Gardens Real Life Decorating.

Phoenix >Food & Dining > Bill Johnson's Big Apple
16810 N 19TH Ave, Phoenix, AZ | Directions 8502333.638582 -112.099936
Monday To Sunday From 06:00 AM To 11:00 PM
Neighborhoods: Deer Valley, Phoenix Northgate
Goodyear AZ Restaurant – Most of us think about a gathering or maybe our spouse and children a day out at some restaurant. I could truthfully appreciate this preference with prepared rooster. Great!!!
Phoenix BBQ – I just love the employees' outfits, which are complete with a gun belt and a cowboy shirt! The place is filled with decorative western antiques, and letメs not forgets the sawdust! The atmosphere is very fun and the food is better than anywhere else! I always leave Bill Johnson's Phoenix bbq stuffed with fantastic food and happy memories. It's a great place to take your family and friends! Best food in town! Awesome service too!
Catering AZ – The first time I've seen this place was many many years ago when I attended another wedding there, I knew from that moment on I was going to be married there. When we started looking for venues, I looked high and low to remember where this place was, we then made our appointment with Bill Johnsonメs. The place is authentic. One of the wedding planners was the greatest thing ever, the service, and food presentation was elegant and classy. The catering was spectacular. If you are still looking for an AZ caterer for your wedding, look no more. This place is the perfect place!!!
Best food in town! Awesome service too!
To the man mad about the "happy Hour" – I read your story about your experience at The Big Apple, and could not stop laughing! For God's sake, if that was the worst thing that has ever happened to you, you are the luckiest man alive. I kinda have a feeling that even if the bar was full, you would still leave without talking to anyone. You are grumpy, lonely, and bored. I hope you can find some happiness in life, because it is too short.
Good Luck
Happy Hour? For Real? More like Dead Hour! – I stopped in here the other day because I'm always in search for a new bar, and I was horribly disappointed. Average selection of beer on tap. Of course they had the typical horrible american style lagers, but they were nice enough to at least put Fat Tire and Sam Adams Boston Lager on tap. I walked in at around 4:15 PM on a Thursday, and there was not a soul at the bar, not even a bartender, and the TV was off and very dusty. It looked like a ghost town, and for a seconf I thought they were doing this on purpose for some sort of Western theme. I sat for about 2 minutes waiting, and finally I decided even if I did have a drink it would be boring by myself, so I left. This had to be the wost bar experience of my life! And the sad thing is, they have a huge sign on front advertising $0.99 drafts of Bud on happy hour. I can tell they are desperate for people during the week to get to their bar, but when you can't bring them in with really cheap beer, that is sad. I will never set foot in this place again.
A+ Restaurant! – I just love the employees' outfits, which are complete with a gun belt and a cowboy shirt! The place is filled with decorative western antiques, and let's not forget the sawdust! The atmosphere is very fun and the food is even better! I always leave Bill Johnson's stuffed with fantastic food and happy memories. It's a great place to take your family and friends!
Rustic old west atmosphere, and good food. – You could certainly get a fancier meal in many other places, but the food you get for the price can't be beat. The place is like a museum of interesting western items, paintings and memorabelia everywhere you look. There is something cozy about the place. You rarely wait too long to sit, because there are so many places to eat in North Phoenix now. Have never been treated rudely at any time. Nice place. Anyone who complains about this place needs to go to a snooty place because they are snobs.
Mediocre – This place is definately dissappointing. The food is reasonably priced but the quality is very uneven.
YUMMMMMM!! – I ordered the "all-you-can-eat" Beef Ribs and enjoyed every bite. The service was prompt and friendly. The atmosphere was rustic and added to the dining experience. I highly recommend this eatery to anyone who wants great food and service.

SAN JUAN COUNTY … Following in our footsteps of limiting development in the fragile high country, Commissioner Pete McKay was able to convince his two conservative colleagues into adopting new land use regulations that limit cabin sizes to 750 square feet above 11,000 feet, with the possibility of an additional 250 sq. ft., if they can meet viewshed, materials, height and siting criteria. The new rule addresses the 3,000 patented mining claims in the alpine area of their county that could be developed, although only about 1,100 are actually buildable, due to geology, avalanches and other hazards … However, a more ambitious limitation that would have downsized house sizes below 11,000 feet to 2000 square feet maximum snagged multiple objections, in spite of a unanimous endorsement by the county planning commission. Both commissioners Ernie Kuhlman and Terry Rhoades weren't comfortable with that regulation, and so it didn't pass … But San Juan County's new cabin size limitations in the high county, like our own San Miguel County regs, are a great start for preventing the other side of our alpine region from being heavily developed with outsize trophy homes.
POSTCARD POEMS … Here's a delightful retro practice for those of you old enough to remember the correspond-dance of snail mail (as it's now diminutively known in the Cyber Era). This week's Talking Gourd is from a poet friend who sends me postcards with little poems on them. And, tag – it's my turn to reply in kind.
Dear Wild
If only I, too, could get out into that
awesome wilderness more. Winter is
stealing my breath & making me small.
I need to heave off this backpack of
great sadness – it's too big for snow.
But then, that too melts with little kiss
promises, & golden sun bits, & patches
of green light in my thick fur – it's still
the time of cold waiting
-Galaxy Earth Dancer

Darkhawk #1
Dawn of the Darkhawk
Danny Fingeroth & Mike Manley
March 1991
New York, New York: The hideous Hobgoblin flies through the city with a single destination in mind, the office of Philippe Bazin. Barging in through an open window, Hobgoblin demands to know if Bazin has found an object of power that he has been hired to look for. Bazin assures the goblin that he has agents searching for it as they speak. Unhappy with the lack of results, Hobgoblin spins glider-doughnuts in the office and destroys a priceless vase, vowing that Bazin does not want to put him in a bad mood.
Wonderland Amusement Park in Queens used to be a childs dreamland but is now deserted and slated for demolition. Two of Bazins goons shake down a vagabond named Saint Johnny for information related to the missing object. Saint Johnny claims to have never seen it, but Bazins intelligence points to the Park as the location of the object. Watching from a parked car, Bazin offers Johnny a wad of cash and instructs him to call clip when he drinks that up and needs more.
At the New York County Courthouse, Assistant D.A. Grace Powell rushes to a late court date, but is stopped by another of Bazins goons. The goon offers Grace a wad of cash to walk away from the case with her health. Grace slaps the money away and refuses to be bought off by his boss. The goon denies knowledge of any employment but promises to deliver the message. Collapsing onto a nearby bench, Grace allows herself to break down for a few minutes before prosecuting her other cases.
At the Powell home later on that day, Grace watches the rain pouring down outside, worried about the veiled threat from earlier and wondering whats keeping her husband out so late. Her older son, Chris, and younger twins, Jonathan and Jason, enter the room and try to reassure her that everything is fine. Mike Powell surprises the family by entering through the back door dripping wet in his police uniform and gets group-hugged by the family. Grace tells him about her encounter with Bazins goon, and Mike suggests moving the family away from the corrupt city, wishing that his side had an edge against criminals like Bazin. Frustrated by his fathers talk, Chris wishes he could do something to help, but Mike begs him not to turn out like he did, trying to do good but becoming a target for lowlifes. Over dinner that night, Jason begs his father to take him to Wonderland that night, wanting to see the park one last time before its demolished. Mike promises to take the trip over the weekend.
Sunday afternoon, Chris is left alone to babysit the twins, and is alarmed when he sees shadows outside the windows, fearing they might be kidnappers. Rushing to the door, he is pleasantly surprised to find two of his friends inviting him to go out for a soda. Promising to only be gone for a few minutes, Chris leaves the twins unattended. Grace returns home to find the children missing and fears that Bazin may have taken them. Chris thinks they might have snuck out and heads to Wonderland to look for them. Saint Johnny tells Chris that he saw the boys run into the funhouse but cant figure out why he said that after Chris runs off.
Chris enters the funhouse and finds the boys upstairs. Before they can leave, they notice a deal going down between their father and Bazins goons through a window into the next room. They witness Mike accepting a package containing twenty-thousand dollars, but Mike attacks one of the goons when he insults his integrity. The boys rush into the room after watching Mike being pistol-whipped and knocked unconscious. Chris tackles the goon with the gun and yells for his brothers to run away. They only make it a few feet before falling through a weakened floor. Chris manages to hide his brothers before the goons find him, and he pushes a bookcase over on them. Behind the bookcase, Chris notices a strange amulet on the floor and assumes that he may be able to use it as a weapon against the goons, wishing it would give him the edge his father always talks about. Upon grasping the amulet, a strange transformation occurs, and Chris finds himself suddenly donning a strange suit of metallic armor. Feeling a power coursing through him, Chris destroys the bookcase with an energy blast coming from the amulet now lodged in the suits chest. Unsure of whats occurring, Chris goes with the flow, pulling the ceiling down and somersaulting over a wave of bullets. Chris tries to talk down the goons, but they press the attack, cutting his side open and strangling him from behind. Chris tosses them aside as if they were weightless but gets caught off-guard when one of the goons electrocutes him with a live cable. Chris tries to use another chest blast but is pressed into a corner by the goon. Fearing that he is going to die, Chris gathers his strength to quickly move out of the way of a thrust which leads the goon to connect to a breaker box behind him, killing him instantly.
Chris quickly recovers from seeing a dead body and ties the remaining goons up. He hears the twins trying to get out of the closet he placed them in and rushes to them but notices his appearance in a broken mirror. Fearing that he will never be able to change back, Chris grasps the amulet again and finds himself returned to normal. Throwing the amulet away, Chris runs out of the room and into his father and begs him to explain what he witnessed. Mike claims that he cant and tells Chris to look after the family while heading for the door. Chris slips and tries to follow but finds no trace of his father outside. He returns to find his brothers and picks up the amulet on the way out, promising to use the power as the edge against crime his father spoke about but could not use.
Chris returns a day later to find Wonderland in ruins after the demolition. Fearing that he will never discover the secrets of the amulet now, Saint Johnny appears from the shadows and warns that the power of the amulet has to be used, not abused, by a Darkhawk. Chris turns to face the old man but finds nobody there. Two days later, the twins are fighting over the scene they saw with their father. Grace receives a phone call and is warned to lay off Bazin at the risk of her children. Upon hearing this, Chris decides to risk using the power of the amulet again, transforming into the armored being again, naming himself Darkhawk, and vowing to take Bazin down.
Meanwhile, Bazin reports on his current search for the object of power to Hobgoblin, claiming that it has been buried under the rubble of the amusement park. Bazin describes the terrifying being using great power as witnessed by the goons. Hobgoblin is pleased by the description and vows to find the object, killing anybody that gets in his way.
Next Issue: Darkhawk teams up with Spider-Man to battle Hobgoblin
Thoughts on Darkhawk #1:
-Two things we learn about Bazin this issue: he is a dick and man he is loaded he just throws money around like its never going to run out and it probably wont. Talk about a very clear nemesis, I hate this guy right out of the gate. I spent most of the issue hoping Hobgoblin would just kill him.
-The Grace family is in one heck of a predicament. I have to admire Grace for her sense of justice and determination in the face of threats against herself and family. She really should have considered moving her children away until the threat was over though. The scene with Mike on the take was pretty heartbreaking. I know he has an agenda for taking the money, but I cant imagine how Chris and the twins feel having watched that. This family is most likely on the verge of breaking at any moment. Its a very interesting predicament. For anybody saying that Chris Powell is too angry, sometimes hes justified.
-I cant believe how irresponsible Chris is, jumping at shadows one minute and then leaving his brothers alone the next. I know that teens are normally irresponsible to an extent, but this guy is a little ridiculous. Of course, it presents a great question at the end of how he will cope with the Darkhawk power given his personality. Hes doesnt seem like your typical teenage superhero.
-As much as I dislike Spider-Man villains being over-used in the Marvel Universe, Hobgoblin is a unique choice and fits pretty well in this issue. I wonder what he would be like with the Darkhawk power? Thats a scary thought. Cant wait to see more of him next issue.
-How did such a powerful amulet come to be hidden behind a bookshelf in a funhouse, and how did Bazin get information that it might be there? Was there another Darkhawk at one time or another? Saint Johnny appears to be the key to solving the mystery if he can remember it.
-Remember the phase "edge against crime", it's going to pop up a lot.
-Mike Manley delivers on some good art here, however the colors and print quality are pretty bad in my opinion. Its so dark and grainy that it detracts from the art. There are a few scenes (such as Grace in the courthouse) that are very vibrant and clear, so I dont think its the printing process in general. Its like someone was trying way too hard to make this a really dark book. Luckily the quality improves fairly quickly into the series.
Verdict: A very eventful and promising first issue. Chris is quite different from most teenage super-heroes, considering his family drama and the fact that he actually has a reason wanting to fight crime. It will be interesting to see how he handles the power though given his attitude and irresponsibility. The Darkhawk has a great design and powerset but is still pretty mysterious at this point, and I can't wait to see more. Bazin is clearly set as the primary villain, and the Hobgoblin should make a challenging adversary next issue. The art and writing are very good (aside from a few minor plot points and the printing/coloring). I would like to see more of a supporting cast, but it's still early. A great start!
Favorite Quotes:
Chris Powell: You have invaded the lair of the, uh, Edge-Man. The three youths are in my charge. Begone or pay the price!
Chris Powell: (thought) Did I say that?
Yeah, it's a good thing Saint Johnny mentioned Darkhawk, Chris might have kept using the name Edge-Man. Nobody would have bought the book, the series would have been cancelled, and the world wouldn't have Darkhawk. A true travesty averted.
I remember randomly picking up early Darkhawk issues when I was a kid. I seem to recall liking them, but sadly no longer have them.
Pull List; seems to be too long to fit in my sig...
Love the first review, I'm working on Issue # 2 now Nate-grey.....I read issue # 1 last night and going to read # 2 tonight and do a review afterwards while it's fresh. Hope it's as good as yours.
Also, I don't have any scans like you but will at least try to get a pic of the cover of issue # 2...I am sure I can find it.
I'm sure it will be great! If you'd like, I can scan and host any images you want from the issue. Just PM me and let me know.
So, how well does this issue work as an introduction issue? What things did you like or felt were lacking?
I think it works good for an introduction to Darkhawk but not so much the amulet that he gets the power from. Why is it in the amusement park? Who is St. Johnny? How did Hobgoblin know about the amulet but yet no one else had?
Without giving too much away, the mystery of Darkhawk and the amulet is one of the driving forces of the series for the first 25 issues, so we can only expect occassional hints about that. The mystery is one of the things that I always liked about the series though. I may start keeping a running list of clues that are presented during the slow buildup. Can't wait to revisit this. The whole amusement park setting is strange but memorable. Maybe Bazin had a sensor team comb the city and picked up on the amulet's energy signature around the park, that's my guess.
I think the Powells got the best introduction this issue. Each member of the family is very unique and has their own personality, which is rare at the time, especially for the children. Although I will admit that I can never keep Jason and Jonathan straight, twins get confusing. You could make a book just about the lives of the Powells and it would still be interesting, a mob corruption police/district attorney drama - think of a cross betweeen Sopranos and Law & Order.
Notice Chris has the exact opposite personality that he was eventually saddled with by the skim-reading of later writers. He's surrounded by aggression in his younger brothers and burdened with the expectation that he become the man of the home and he's not 'angry', he's frustrated as most teenagers are when realising the shortcomings of authority figures, in this instance Chris' dad. It's a clever way to make him brash without being irrational or difficult to relate to, and it's a shame that it didn't last.
Not sure about all the references to other Marvel universe events so early in the book's run: Spider-Man guest-starring is a smart move, but demonic Hobgoblin's ongoing possession arc being a part of brand new superhero Darkhawk's origin story not so much. But it doesn't get in the way of knowing what's going on, and the book is a lot more accessible than a great many other teen books launching in established fictional universes such as Runaways, Young Avengers or Arana, which are good titles but really do need the first six issues to be taken as a whole compared to Darkhawk's first issue setting up pretty much everything you need to know.
Maybe a little dense in the reading compared to modern titles, but it's a solid opening issue.
Yeah why did they cancel Runawys that was a great book when Brian K Vaughan wrote it

Crystal Palace 0-3 Newcastle
5:00pm Saturday 21st December 2013 in Sport By Paul Green
Danny Gabbidon wants the ground to swallow him up after his own goal doubled Newcastle's lead. PICTURES BY KEITH GILLARD.
NEWCASTLE emerged comfortable 3-0 victors over Crystal Palace at a soaking Selhurst Park this afternoon.
Yohan Cabaye put the visitors ahead on 25 minutes and Danny Gabbidon's own goal doubled the lead before the break.
And substitute Hatem Ben Arfa added a decisive late penalty to make the game safe as Tony Pulis suffered his first home defeat since taking control in SE25.
It took a while for either side to have an effort on goal but eventually Newcastle tried their luck in the 13th minute with a Davide Santon long range drive that flew harmlessly behind.
Tim Krul made an easy catch from Barry Bannan's free-kick but the visitors came agonisingly close to breaking the deadlock on 19 minutes as Mathieu Debuchy glanced a header just wide after rising to meet Cabaye's corner.
The Geordies in front six minutes later as Moussa Sissoke easily got past Marouane Chamakh and picked out Cabaye inside the box, whose low shot took a cruel deflection off Damien Delaney's boot on its way into Julian Speroni's net.
Cameron Jerome saw his shot put behind by Krul after a good counter from the Eagles and there almost were back on terms in bizarre circumstances from the resultant corner as Williamson's attempted clearance went goal-wards and was hacked off the line by Vurnon Anita.
However, it was an lown goal at the other end six minutes before the break which doubled Newcastle's advantage as the unfortunate Gabbidon fired Debuchy's cross past Speroni.
Cabaye almost added a third three minutes later, escaping the attentions of Dean Moxey before drilling a low angled shot which Speroni had to get down low to deal with.
Pulis made a double change at the start of the second half, withdrawing Moxey and Bannan for Jonny Parr and Yannick Bolasie.
Bolasie - and a clearly frustrated Pulis - were furious when he wasn't awarded a free-kick after what looked a blatant trip by Yoan Gouffran.
Speroni could only palm away Cabaye's free-kick and luckily for the Eagles keeper Williamson headed well wide from the rebound.
Chamakh headed just wide from Adrian Mariappa's cross but they came even closer when Jason Puncheon's free-kick was headed into the path of Jerome by Mile Jedinak but the Palace striker's volley flew over the bar.
That man Cabaye again went close with a curling drive from inside the area that went off target.
Dwight Gayle came on for Jerome with 13 minutes remaining before Cabaye shot straight at Speroni moments before Palace's tormentor in chief made way for Ben Arfa.
Gouffran was only denied by the woodwork after he had a crack from just outside of the box and then Speroni made a good save to put behind Ben Arfa's shot.
Chamakh was yellow carded for a late lunge on Fabricio Coloccini, meaning the striker is now suspended for the Boxing Day trip to Villa Park.
Palace's misery was complete four minutes from time when Parr tripped Shola Ameobi just inside the area and Ben Arfa made mo mistake with the resulting spot-kick.
Delaney had a low drive easily saved by Krul as four minutes of stoppage time were signalled, during which Joel Ward sent a looping header harmlessly over.
But by then the stands were emptying as the soaked palace fans headed home in an un-festive mood after what was a most unwelcome reality check after their recent mini-revival.
